Old-Fashioned Popcorn Balls

Place popcorn in a large, buttered bowl.

In heavy 2-quart saucepan, stir together syrup, water, brown sugar and vinegar. Stir constantly over medium heat until mixture boils.

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until temperature on candy thermometer reaches 260° or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a ball.

Remove from heat; stir in butter.

Slowly pour over popcorn.

Make balls.
